I got started on 3DS Max recently too, so, this will be a neat experiment to do (and learn tid-bits of Unreal in-between as well). I personally can do most stuff related to hard-surfaces but I never seem to be able to get curved surfaces and organic stuff done right. 
Looks gorgeous, Very excited for the finished product

Thanks to @Zak and @Foohy for finishing up the game base and @MacDGuy and @Foohy for making MINIGOLF, we’re getting in full swing (no pun intended) of Minigolf Development!
We’ll show more off on our stream tomorrow.

MLG skillz!
Dat bounce though.
It didn’t trigger out of bounds! Cheater!
I swear I saw it curving towards the hole after bouncing off the rock.
There really should be a hole like that in the finished game! An unexpected surprise sort of like the last hole on the ice-themed minigolf map from GMT.
I believe it was showing off the hidden trajectory system, which will direct where the ball lands when you are fired out the cannons planned for Minigolf. Again, I believe the entire thing was on rails.
Yep, everything there was a series of hidden cannons. The cool thing though is the ball never actually follows a fixed path, I calculate the exact velocity needed for the ball to hit the desired spot (so it’s 100% physics)
edit:
also fun fact that very first jump into the spinning target was also a cannon because I’m bad at videogames
